M/M Paris

This is interesting, have just seen this on I-D's website and was particularly struck by the imagery which is by M/M (Paris), but reading further you find out this is from a set of campaign imagery for a new perfume, and the fragrance is based on black ink. More can be read at http://www.i-donline.com/i-spy/mmink-byredo

Diana's Dresses

I went to a beautiful exhibition today which had ten of Diana's dresses on display at the Assembly Rooms in Bath, really very moving too, I would highly recommend going http://visitbath.co.uk/site/whats-on/the-diana-dresses-at-the-fashion-museum-p1032343

Michelle Sank

This is the single image that won this years British Journal of Photography Award by Michelle Sank, and it has sparked quite a debate as to why it was chosen. But having read Galvin's comments I agree with a lot of his reasonings behind it, and particularly at the end where he says "Sometimes photographers have to take risks- not just in photographing a subject, but to take risks with the image itself. As Culture shifts photography has to move with it, to change and challenge if it is to remain vital. Good photography should challenge, otherwise it could so easily be ignored". http://www.bjp-online.com/british-journal-of-photography/news/1811313/prize-winning-image

Terry Richardson

Terry Richardson and Obama

Richard Billingham

Richard Billingham's now very well known portraits of his family, I have always loved the bizarre flying cat photo.

Noemie Goudal

Noemie Goudal is exhibiting at the moment at Hotshoe Gallery and I have been photographing it for the website, I would have probably featured her work on my blog anyway because her work really is beautiful. More photos of the exhibition can be found at

The Paris Review

I think this is the first piece of design I have included on this blog, but these covers from the 60s are so striking and they really caught my attention. I originally came across them on Its Nice That and as a set they really are very impressive, but I think this one has to be my favourite.

Richard Avedon

I had to include Richard Avedon's Dovima with Elephants because they are incredible, I love the charisma of the elephants in contrast to Dovima's elegant poses. If I were able to have one of these prints I think I wouldn't be able to stop looking at it.

D&AD

The novelty of seeing our work on other places other than my own desktop still hasn't worn off, and last night in the early hours of the morning I was browsing on D&AD and our work popped up! Check out my Talent Profile too.

RCA Design Interactions

The RCA's Design Interactions have launched a new website of work by tutors, research fellows and associates, and it is very inspirational indeed. This particular project is by Nina Pope, and is just one of the particularly fascinating projects on the website.

Jill Greenberg | Glass Ceiling

I saw these a while ago on Its Nice That, but for some reason re-visited them today. They are from the series 'Glass Ceiling' by Jill Greenberg and inspired by a series of images she took of the US Synchronised Swim Team for a fashion shoot. They are incredible and bizarre images but what is interesting is Greenberg's view of this shoot.

Greenerg says 'they wear high heels to be "sexy", yet this is absurd, it hinders their movement and amplifies their lack of control. They adjust their swimsuits, shoes; gasp for air, and are pushed by the relentless force of the water, a metaphor for their world'.

Kim Asendorf

These are by Kim Asendorf, I came across these on 'but does it float.com', brilliant images on their own but Ralf Waldo Emerson text; 'to different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven', gives them a more profound meaning I think.

Robin Friend

This is by Robin Friend, a lot of his work is pretty stunning but I particularly like this photo from his series Slaughterhouse.

Nadav Kander

I've already included work on my blog by Nadav Kander, his 'Obama's People' series, but he also has some amazing personal work and this is just one of his amazing images from his series 'Yantze, The Long River'

BJP

An article was written about our Class Portraits on the British Journal of Photography, our photos sparked quite a debate in the comments section, very interesting to read. http://bit.ly/cLrynT

Hotshoe Gallery

I have just started an internship at Hotshoe and have been taking photos for their website of the gallery. Also the magazine has had a complete redesign for the Oct/Nov issue and I have been photographing that too, it's now bigger and is going to be stocked in WHSmiths, very exciting.

Kim Holtermand

I don't think I've ever seen a rock this beautiful, by Kim Holtermand.

It's Nice That

Our work is going to be featured in the October issue of Its Nice That, very exciting.

Creative Review

Anna's one of the graduates in this month's Creative Review... they've put our Class Portraits in and our Strangers in Transit film, awesome.

Panda

I love pandas, this is one of the pictures of the day today on www.telegraph.co.uk

Kevin Bauman

This is from a series of images by Kevin Bauman, simply titled 'Small Churches', beautiful images, I found it hard to choose just one.

Michael Corridore

Part of a series by Michael Corridore, in 1000 words magazine at the moment. I find them hauntingly beautiful.

Blommers/Schumm

By Blommers and Schumm, I love these for so many reasons.

Jim Naughten

Have just seen that Jim Naughten has won a pencil this year in the D&AD awards, saw his re-enactor series a while ago in Hotshoe, and I particularly like his Monk series which I haven't seen before. Beautiful and eerie, they have a strange quiet quality about them.

Its Nice That

On Its Nice That, right under Pierre Debusschere, amazing.

Anri Sala

I love this, by Anri Sala... in fact I have it on my wall in my room.

Johnson Banks Thought for the Week

Have just seen some of my work on Johnson Bank's blog, it's pretty exciting, and he wrote some pretty nice stuff too about our work too. This is a photo from the exhibition of the work on my wall too.

Benjamin Huseby

I quite like this by Benjamin Huseby, I like how there's a figure behind the model, quite unusual and a bit weird, but in a good way.

The Story of Science: Power, Proof and Passion

These were some of the first photos ever published, they are from Darwin's book The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. I saw these on The Story of Science; Power, Proof and Passion on BBC 2, which I have just watched and thought was brilliant. Had to put it on my blog. Looks as the question of 'who we are', incredibly fascinating, it had everything in that I love watching... history, psychology, photography, art... everything.

You can watch it on this link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sn5yz

It also reminded me of an exhibition I went to at The Wellcome Collection about Identity, I think it's still on now, and also The Medicine Man, which is also there. I was quite blown away by this exhibition, it doesn't do it justice on their website http://www.wellcomecollection.org/whats-on/exhibitions/medicine-man.aspx but the whole exhibition was really well executed, very good work by the graphic designers who were Kerr|Noble.

Giacomo Brunelli

Currently exhibited at the Photographer's Gallery, by Giacomo Brunelli.

Antoine d’Agata

I have just come across the work of Antoine D'Agata.

Amy Stein

Have just discovered that Amy Stein has a blog... and one of her posts showed all these films having been donated from Kodak! Very nice, last week I spent about £40 on ten films.

clemensjahn

Just came across these on http://clemensjahn.de/, got quite excited about the imagery on the website, and these are my three favourites. There's no information about any of them but I don't really mind... for once, because I usually do.

Niiice

I've no idea who did this or the intentions behind it, I've just come across it and think it is really quite spectacular really... hopefully will find more info about it in the future

Leandro Elrich

This is by Leandro Erlich, pretty clever really

Sebastian Errazuriz

This is pretty awesome...It's by Sebastian Errazuriz and is called Memorial of a Concentration Camp and was a week long installation at Chile's national stadium where dictator Pinochet in 1973 imprisoned thousands of political prisoners.

The tree was planted for a week and was opened as a public park for people to stop, look again and remember.

Ice Cube on Fire

This ice cube is on fire... no photoshop either.
